FAQ’s about Wikipedia page creation:

Q) To be eligible

Prominent: Wikipedia lays a lot of weight on credentials, authenticity and authority or your circle of influence, also known as “notability”.

Verifiable: All the references and citations should be genuine.

Strong Presence: Notability only comes with wide media coverage. An extensive presence in local and international media is necessary.

If you are individual, company or brand looking to find a foothold in Wikipedia, talk to us now to get a free assessment and check if you are eligible.

Q) Can you explain when a company does or an individual becomes notable as per the Wikipedia editorial team?

Winning the best sales executive label in your company’s branch in Sheikh Zayed Road does not make you notable whereas being selected to win an award from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum makes you a notable person.

Thus either a global recognition or a national level recognition as mentioned above is a good indicator of notability. These are certainly considered as notable by Wikipedia. Another aspect to this implies the matter gets significant coverage across multiple media publications. Once the proof for this is available online, it can be used to prove that the individual/entity is notable.

Q) What is considered a reliable source as per Wikipedia editors?

Mentions in websites like GulfNews.com, KhaleejTimes.com, and TheNational.ae are considered reliable, whereas mention in websites like dubaicityguide.com or adwonline.ae is not considered good enough reason for considering the individual or commercial entity to be provided a Wikipedia page.

Reliable sources would include The Times of India, The New York Times, The Economic times & Fastcompany.com. In case no reliable third-party sources can be found on an individual or topic, then an independent Wikipedia page should not be provided according to Wikipedia.

Francis Kalarickal, Director of GMI, says,

“GMI contributes to Wikipedia “ethically and transparently” on behalf of individuals, corporate entities and NGO clients. Most often nearly 90% of cases when someone wants to create a new Wikipedia page, the person or company doesn’t meet Wikipedia’s requirements to qualify for a page”.

In such cases with proper inputs & guidelines from GMI, with 6 to 8 months time frame, a Wikipedia page can be created with sufficient groundwork.

Q) Is it good to edit our own Wikipedia page?

The Wikipedia editors are extremely good at their job. Once they identify a weakness in the approach you edit and publish content, the editorial team is most likely to keep hounding your page, until it achieves perfection. Thus the DIY approach to Wikipedia page creation is usually a bad idea. DIY Wikipedia contributions can raise red flags in the Wikipedia editorial community.

Q) What are Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest (COI) guidelines?

Wikipedia page copy is meant to be objective, “just-the-facts” tone. When a Wikipedia page of a company/individual creates or contribute their own Wikipedia articles, their intention is to meet marketing goals, instead of making Wikipedia a more valuable resource of unbiased information. All copy with even the slightest hint of being promotional is a show stopper in the case of a Wikipedia page.
